The West Swim season starts March 14, 2022. Practice is at the Salem High School pool and is every weekday from 4:45-6:00 pm.

There are two weeks of practice and then you will start having meets, which are usually held on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

To get on to the Swim Team, you fill out a google form attached to the Weekly Bulletin. Swimming experience is not required to join.

The pool lanes are divided by ability so each swimmer gets a lane based on where you are at in the class. “Students may change lanes depending on their improvement,” states Dave Workman, West Swim Coach. Coach Workman has been coaching at West for the past 6 years.

Workman explains, “The best part of each season is to see the growth and improvement of every swimmer regardless of their starting point.” The swimmers gain friendships and everyone encourages each other.

West Swim Coach Bob Cummings mentions that he is excited to get back in the pool. “I haven’t seen the middle school kids in a couple of years now,” Cummings adds.
